心理理论（Theory of Mind，ToM）是一种推断和推理他人心理状态的能力，在成功的社会交往中起着关键作用。先前的研究表明，认知灵活性（CF），即在不同观点之间充分切换的能力，与各种实验任务中的ToM表现有关。然而，CF和ToM之间的关联机制在很大程度上仍然未知。在这里，我们调查了CF与神经活动的关系，在心理理论处理26名健康男性成年人使用功能磁共振成像任务的移动形状的社会模式。CF能力采用认知灵活性自评量表进行评估。不同的脑区，包括额中回（MFG），额下回，杏仁核，楔前叶，和颞顶连接（TPJ），在心理理论加工过程中被激活。在这些领域，CF能力的个体差异与右侧MFG和TPJ的神经活动强度相关。这些研究结果强调了这样一个概念，即根据不断变化的环境在不同观点之间切换的认知能力对于将精神状态归因于他人至关重要，并表明正确的MFG和TPJ值得进一步研究，以开发新的疗法来改善临床人群的社会认知。
Theory of mind (ToM), which is the ability to infer and reason about others’ mental states, plays a key role in successful social interactions. Previous studies have shown that cognitive flexibility (CF), which refers to the ability to adequately switch between different perspectives, is linked to ToM performance in a variety of experimental tasks. However, the mechanisms of the association between CF and ToM is still largely unknown. Here, we investigated the relation of CF with neural activity during ToM processing in 26 healthy male adults using a functional magnetic resonance imaging task of moving shapes in social patterns. The CF abilities were estimated using the self-report Cognitive Flexibility Scale. Diverse brain areas, including the middle frontal gyrus (MFG), inferior frontal gyrus, amygdala, precuneus, and temporoparietal junction (TPJ), were activated during ToM processing. In these areas, individual differences in CF abilities were associated with the strength of neural activity in the right MFG and TPJ. These findings highlight the notion that cognitive ability to switch between different perspectives according to a changing environment is crucial for the attribution of mental state to others, and suggest that the right MFG and TPJ are deserving of further examination for the development of new therapies to improve social cognition in clinical populations.
